BS4S16Leadership and Management Theories
1. Assignment Question
Critically evaluate the application of principles and ideas drawn from leadership and management theories in contemporary organisational settings.
2. Guidance
Structure:
Students will decide on the appropriate structure and content but we would expect to see the following elements:
 Introduction: setting the context, addressing the question, the approach to answering the question
 Main body of the assignment: critical evaluation and application of leadership and management theories referring to selected organisation and relevant and reliable academic sources.
 Conclusion: bring together your main points; address the main question, i.e. evaluate the influence of classical and human relations approaches in leadership and management today.

2.1 Additional guidance:

 This is an individual assessment, not a group task.
 You may use either an organisation with which you are familiar (e.g. for whom you work or have worked) or other organisations
 Identify relevant practices, policies and approaches of organisations; these should be suitably evidenced. For example, classical and human relations approaches to leadership and management have different conceptions of motivation, incentives and rewards, ways of organising work and tasks etc. How are these reflected in company policies?
